INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. %.
The merchants and manufacturers of this
city. and in fact all over the State, have abund-
ant reason for being in a thankful mood this
morning. General prosperity abounds, and in
most of the principal lines of business there is
more activity and the operations mole profitable
than one year ago. in fact. than in any year of
the last ten years. Dry goods merchants have
been very busy for months past. and there has
been a strong tone to prices, while margins have
been close. Sales have been large. and bad
debts few. Grocers, well. have had an ex-
celent trade, and the manner they have been
enlareing their stores and extending their trade
indicate most healthy prosperity. In all lines
of trade there has been a tendency to extend the
field of operations, which speaks we'll for the
enterprise and observation-disclosures of tho mer-
chants and manufacturers of this State The
provision men have had a good year. Sales
have been large and profits satisfactory, and

BEECHRR's IDEA OF HE'LL.
He Gives His Congregation n Chance
10 Feel Better.

NEW YORK, February 22-In his
sermon Sunday morning Mr.. Henry
Ward Beecher said: "It a man be-
lieves in the old idea OF hell today he
ia candidate for lunatic asylum.
He has got to give up his Christ or his
hell. Men are rescued and saved by
the voluntary suffering of love, and
the idea is inconsistent with the old
idea OF a God of vengeance. The re-
vised Bible has left hell pretty much
out, and has put in sheol and hsdes.
This does not put out the idea of fu-
ture punishment. l believe in that,
but the old machinery and methods OF
punishment are given up.
mo man." Mr.. Beecher said, Sought
to be converted by a sudden change
unless he has been living in the lower
plane of his animal nature. Such a
man fears only that he will 90 to hell
and be damned. II a man cannot be
held by any other element, let him be
held by that. Such man begins by
giving up wearing, tells as few lies as
his business will let him daughter
and he begins to try and do right.
Such a man has not done much, but
he hes laid a good foundation"
In speaking of the diversity among
men and their various methods OF get
ting to heaven Mr.. Beecher used the
following illustration: take worm,
q tortoise, a horse and an eagle, and
tell them to 90 from New York to
Pennsylvania. The worm would wig
gle, the tortoise would crawl, the horse

MIST VICTORY.
Bismarck viii Get a Majority for His
Bill-The Canadian Trouble
in Parliamen..

BERLIN, February 22.-rhe Nltio ma
Zeiiung, commen ing upon the elec-
tions, says: The results, as far as
known, pressge of q brilliant Septsn-
nist victory. The results ascertained d
this afternoon include twenty.six seats
won from the R'ictsteg majority OF
January l4th, whi.e tae National
Liberals have wrested from their op-
ponents twenty.three dist lets. ot
which twelve were lost by New Ger
man Liberals, three by Centrists, five
by socialists and three by Democrats.
The New German Liberals have
veritably suffered q crushing defeat.
Among the New German Liberals
feeling OF intense dismay is
plainly discerned between the
high sounding phrases OF the
party press. II the outcome OF the
election Is such as to leave our enc
mics no doubt as to the fact that We
are fully determined to defer d our
selves TO the utmost for the prote c ion
Of the Fstherland, and are ready to
make all the sacrifices which the EN-
peror asks, then the maintenance oi
peace is perhaps ecured.
1t is reported in official circles that
the Emperor will summon the Reich
stag meet without waiting for the
supplementary elections 10 be- held, az
soon as verified returns show the els c.
lion OF asufficient number OF Deputies
to institute qno'um. ..-..-.-.

JefiersonDavis talking secession today
amounts to no more than an Italian
organ grinder playing "Dixie." The
chi dren OF the sonth are be-
ing educated to believe that
Abraham Lincoln was one Of the
GREATEST ssges. The South today,
he said, "Oould not he driyen out of
the Union II you try" There is q
gro wing feeling that the republican
party is the marty for the South, be-
cause knowing its principles, is not
afraid to supper them. The South will
be Republican because the South is pro-
gressive, while the Democracy is neg
ative and Obstructive. The new South
is dswnipg, and its development was
spoken OF at some length. The 80
called Jeffersoniau simplicity was de-
rided. Mr.. Wise ssked that no bitter
ness be allo we'd to stop the tide OF the
South towards Rspublicanism. He
closed with a tribute to Washington
and the fl q he loved.
